Video Cards on linux

[Juan Kawada]

sounds good, just that I get everything computer related from
http://newegg.com (just bought an lcd monitor with free 3 day shipping, and
have had such a good experience with the site I don't mind advertising it
here), so I'll be sure to leave a review mentioning linux next time I buy.

so from the stories I hear, ATI used to be terrible with linux, it's now
much better, and It's Nvidia who's currently lagging behind.
